Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into Lancaster, Pennsylvania, from its earliest days to the 1820s. The author has compiled a series of newspaper articles, meeting minutes, and other historical documents to paint a vivid picture of life in this vibrant and growing community. The book begins with an account of the founding of Lancaster by German and Swiss immigrants in the early 1700s. It then traces the city's development as a center of commerce and industry, and its role in the American Revolution and the early years of the United States. Along the way, the author provides insights into the social, cultural, and economic life of Lancaster's inhabitants. We learn about the city's thriving market, its bustling taverns, and its many churches and schools. We also encounter some of the city's most prominent citizens, including General Edward Hand, who played a key role in the Battle of Brandywine, and James Buchanan, who served as President of the United States from 1857 to 1861. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, or in the history of the United States more generally. It is a rich and detailed account of a community that has played a significant role in the nation's development.
